To all whom t 'may concern."

Be it known that I, CINCO` S'. CD9., asubject of the Emperor of Japan,residing'at Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts,have invented certain new and useful improvements in Pennant EmbodyingPicture F rames, of which the fol lowing is a specification.

This invention relates to pennants, and the primary object of theinvention is to .provide an .improved means for supporting and holding aVpicture or photograph upon the pennant body, sothat one of the collegeathletes picture may be made apart of the pennant.

A further object of the invention is to provide an improved means fordetachably holding a picture in position on apennant body so that thesame can be removed and another substituted therefor when desired. Astill further obj ect ofthe invention is to provide animproved pennanthaving a pic` ture frame and picture associated therewith which isformed of iiexible material, so as to permit the waving of the pennanton a field or other Y place of college or fraternity activities. y

A. still further object of the invention is to provide an improveddevice of the above character which is durable and eiiicient in use, onethat is simple and easy to manufacture, and one which can be placed uponthe market at a reasonable cost.

Other objects of the invention will appear in the following detaileddescription taken in connection with the drawings, in which drawings: Y

FigureA 1 is a.V perspective view improved pennant and picture frame.

Figure 2 is a fragmentary detail enlarged view of the penna-nt andpicture frame, showing` a portion of the same in raised position,illustrating the manner of attaching the frame to the pennant.

Figure 3 is a detail enlarged vertical section through the pennantandframe.

Figure i is a fragmentary enlarged rear elevation of the improvedpennant showing the means of positioning the picture in the improvedframe.

Referring to the drawings, in detail, wherein similar referencecharacters desig 'c the nate corresponding parts throughout the.

several views, the letter A indicates the improved pennant having apicture frame edge of the pennant body 5 is provided with G5 a.reinforcing strip 7 having the usual attaching strips 8 secured theretowhereby the pennant may be attached to a-pole or cane 9.

JThe frame B includes substantially rectanguiar open body 10, which issecured at its outer edge to the pennant bodyby suitable stitches ll. Bystitching the outer edge of Vthe open body lO to the body 5 of thepennant, inwardly extending free flanges l2 are provided behind which,ythe picture C is adapted to be confined. A. flexible thin strip or filmof Celluloid, isinglass orthe like may be positioned in front of thepicture C and engagement with the inwardly extending flanges l2, forforming a protection for the picture C and if so desired, thetransparent stripl?) may be secured by suitable stitches li to the inneredge of the flanges l2 of the frame l0.

The body 5 of the pennant A is provided 85 with a horizontal slit l5which extends substantially the width of the open body 10 adjacent tothe upper end thereof and forms means whereby the picture C may bereadily inserted in the pocket formed by the body '5 U0 of the pennantand the opened body l0 of the frame.

rihe picture C is preferably printed on relatively thin iienible paperand may be of any desired member of a foot ball team, or

other notable of the college or other organization. Owing to the extremesimplicity of the frame, and the fact that only one additional ply ofmaterial is necessary to form the frame, the frame may be made verycheaply and the relative thinness of the Vframe and pennant will permitthe same to readily flex, to permit the pennant or banner to be rolledor waved upon a field when` desired.

Changes in details may be made without departing from. the spirit orscope of my invention; but,

I claim: Y A display device comprising a main body poi'tion of fabricVcapable of being readily Ilexed or waved7 Va relatively smaller irani'eof iabrio VCapable of being .readily il'ened or waved, Said frame havinga sight opening and Secured to the main body portion at the outer marginof the frame, said main body portion havinga slit adjacent one of themargins of the frame providing an opening from the back ofthe main bodypoition to the real of the iane, and a photograph or like picture Vonmaterial capable of being flexed o1' waved disposed between said mainbody portion and fram@ the photograph o1' like picture being visiblethrough theV sight opening of the frame.
